‘Dark Deception’ is “Pac-Man Meets Cabin in the Woods”

Published

on

It took awhile, but someone is finally taking the classic Pac-Man formula and turning it into a horrifying first person horror game where you’re chased down labyrinthine hallways by demonic monkeys. The game in question is Dark Deception, and according to its Kickstarter, it’s “a fun Pac-Man style horror game” that’s comparable to “Pac-Man meets Cabin in the Woods.”

You can see its Kickstarter pitch below. If you’d rather play it yourself, they also have a playable demo available on the crowdfunding site.

If successfully funded, Glowstick Games plans to release Dark Deception on PC, Mac, Linux and Wii U later this year. If the gaming community proves extra generous, there are several stretch goals that would bring it to PS4 and Xbox One.

You can also support it by voting for the game on Steam Greenlight.
